How do I access a specific report with parameters using a URL?

17 December, 2015

I have created Guest role and user, and it is indeed possible to access the report using a funky URL like:
http://my_server/RunReport.i4;01c3fed5-35c1-4ab8-b758-697309f43f97=28ee661f-fca1-4dac-9a93-72bc663bbe34?reportUUID=dd256635-333b-41fc-a6d1-26c0478852c5&primaryOrg=1&clientOrg=12001&01c3fed5-35c1-4ab8-b758-697309f43f97=28ee661f-fca1-4dac-9a93-72bc663bbe34
1)
This URL is not very user friendly. I would prefer something like:
http://my_server/RunReport.i4?ReportName=MyReport1
Is this possible?
2)
The report is defined with a userprompt filter.
How do I pass the value to be used in the filter in the URL?

Hi Guest,

Thanks for sending in the questions. Hopefully we can help provide some clarification!

Your report URL definitely looks a bit over-complicated, but regardless of that, unfortunately you cannot reference a report via 'ReportName' (as mentioned in your example). As it stands, 'reportUUID' or 'reportID' must be used.
